no instructions ? I bought 2 of these a couple months back when they were cheap, knowing they would gouge later on. But neither have instructions on how to build. Sure they are only 15-20 pieces for each figure, but still tough without instructions. no instructions ?

It's a little late, but I believe you're supposed to start with "1" because it's the 1st of December and go on from there... but I guess you could do it either way if you really wanted to do so!

Thank you so much for posting this! I've been looking for the directions too as we pushed in the doors!

OK forget it, im dumb. The instructions for each piece are on the inside of each door. Didnt help that we pushed the door in instead of pulling it out.

Well, the part count is more or less 150~200 pieces (counting the small ones too). And is not difficult to build but depends on the level of detail you want to put it (and will need a bit of sanding in some parts, but this is part of the hobby :-).

It doesn't come with instructions, but I easily found some on youtube. The shelves are delivered with a bunch of small plastic black caps that are not part of assembly, but are used to protect the shelves in transport. I mention this because those pieces are not mentioned in the instructions and it took me a little while to figure out they weren't important to assembly.

My daughter and husband assembled them. They said the first ones were hard, but once they got the hang of them, it went fast and was easy. Is there someone that can help you figure it out?

If you are asking whether there are any instructions for building- only the examples on the box illustration are shown. However, this is by no means a deterrent. The children I work with create all kinds of things, no two alike, and they do this by exploration- the best learning tool there is. There are no shortages of creative possibilities that arise out of just playing with the magnetic edges and seeing how things work. The children have even solved problems like sagging roofs on a large structure by seeing that they need to build a column or supports to hold it up. They are the most in-demand toy in my play therapy room. I had to get another set for the waiting room!

It doesn't come with instructions but by looking at it, you can see the groves to snap the pieces together. It's like building a puzzle. I would recommend keeping the box so that you can use the picture as a guide!

Again, I have the same question...definitely going to cost them when I write my review...Why send your customers on a wild goose chase for some non-existant instruction video...The description on the site and the packaging says "instructions included"--NOT...

My almost 8 year old son just built this by himself. It was his first level 2 model ever. I just explained the numbering system to him and he did the rest.

not sure. I did get instructions. I would call the place where I got them. My grandson really loves these and they are strong.

We had no instructions either. I contacted the seller, and they emailed them to me while we were on the phone. It went together fairly easy, and fast. All is great with ours. Hope you were able to get what you need.

That's an interesting question. I got them for my grandsons and they are really still too young to learn the jist of the toy. And my son played with it for a while but quickly hit the end of his 32-year-old attention span. I'll be watching to see if you get a good answer to this question though. Best of luck.

Youll need paint. Hobby stores should have em. The model comes in pieces. You have to paint and put together all the parts and pieces. All made of plastic so you gotta be careful and gentle.

No instructions are included. My ten year old grandson was able to build complete vehicles by adding misc. Legos from other kits.

This model takes a lot of patience and time. I don't think the age is too young. All kids are different. The instructions get a little "fuzzy" at times, but a little common sense prevails. Good luck and ENJOY.

My grandson became frustrated at one point because the model involved putting two large parts that he contructed, together. One of the large parts that took a lot of time and patience, "came apart." He actually cried, but he asked for help, and was so pleased because he didn't give up. When he completed the entire model, he was so glad that he saw it through. My suggestion is that if you are thinking of this model for a 7 year old whose frustration level is high, and he is one to give up easily, you might want to consider this for next year. However, always reassure him that you will help if he asks. That's key. My grandson became frustrated at one point because the model involved putting two large parts that he contructed, together.

I have the same problem. Bought 2. Tried to assemble one and ran into difficulty. I tried to follow the picture but was unsucessful. No writen instructions came with the units
